[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 15762523, member: 124025"] No, but it's been my primary past time for over 45 years. When EFI and computer controls came around in the early 90s, I figured hot rodding was dead for late model vehicles. I started hanging around an EEC-IV forum when there were no tuning vendors, just hackers, in an attempt to bring one of my projects into that technology. Before graphical interface, tuning changes were entered as raw data using an add-on board called the EEC Tuner. We were even able to data log with it, but it was pretty crude and not much data could be captured because of storage limitations. I watched a lot of this stuff evolve into what it is today. I've since been using SCT's tuning software for about 12 years, so I have pretty good working knowledge of tuning parameters. However, the OEMs just keep evolving computer controls and getting more complicated all the time. I'm running a Whipple 123mm MAF on my car. After seeing pictures of the Ford Racing version they used with their Whipple kit, I set out to make one just like it out of the factory MAF tube/heat shield bucket. Works great and takes someone familiar with these cars to notice it's not stock. While the JLT works, there are more variations in uniformity because it's molded plastic than you'll find with metal or hard plastic MAF tubes. [/QUOTE]
